I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to the community. I am a complete beginner to fish keeping, and have just set up a 20g tank and am in the first week of cycling it. Once I have it up and running with fish I hope to post some pics.

The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.[unknown source]

Something we all need to remember: The fish you've acquired was quite happy not being owned by you, minding its own business. If you’re going to take it under your wing then you’re responsible for it. Every aspect of its life is under your control, from water quality and temperature to swimming space. [Nathan Hill in PFK]
